5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for people with rusty math skills, March 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: KAPLAN GRE / GMAT MATH WORKBOOK (Paperback)

A really useful guide, if, like me, you have not done math for a while. Covers useful material in a good level of depth. Also an excellent source of practice questions. In my opinion, a great deal better than the Princeton Math Workout, which spent too much time on ways to "crack" the test rather than actually teaching you how to do the math. The Kaplan Guide is much more focussed on the latter.

3.0 out of 5 stars Satisfactory, but nothing earth-shattering, August 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: KAPLAN GRE / GMAT MATH WORKBOOK (Paperback)

This was an alright book. I found its best use was as a source for additional math problems. If you're trying to really nail the GMAT, this is a good book in that you will encounter a variety of different math questions. You gain some experience, and that is good. But on the other hand, I feel like Kaplan did a bit of a lazy job putting this book together. First off, 99% of the questions are incredibly easy. Secondly, I found several typos and this should just not happen unless the writers are being lazy. Third, it does not do a good job of explaining answers. If this is a thorough review, it should provide at least two ways to solve the more difficult questions - ie plugging in numbers and algebra, not just one. But considering there is only one other book out there, this is the best you can get. Unfortunately, with the exception of the Princeton Review, a lot of those other companies are just plain trash.

3.0 out of 5 stars A GOOD BOOK THAT NEEDS MORE WORK, September 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: KAPLAN GRE / GMAT MATH WORKBOOK (Paperback)

It was a good idea to produce a book exclusively for maths, but for people who did not graduate from a technical university, it is difficult to learn maths from one book in just one month! You need the background and the exercise!
